^(Duplicate)如果您是Google Drive^{(Google Drive)}或 One Drive等^(Drive)云存储^{(cloud storage)}服务的普通用户，重复文件可能会造成威胁。Google Drive可让您从任何设备（例如您的手机、平板电脑或计算机）保存、上传、访问或修改文件。它提供有限的空间，重复^{(space and duplicate files)}的文件可以进一步减少存储容量^{(storage capacity)}。文件重复时有发生，尤其是在涉及跨多个设备的同步时。但是，当您拥有大量文件时，查找这些重复文件可能既困难又耗时。今天，我们将讨论如何在Google Drive^{(Google Drive)}中查找并删除重复文件。

如何从 Google Drive 云存储中删除重复文件^{(How to Remove Duplicate Files from Google Drive Cloud Storage)}

您可以选择Google Drive 云^{(Google Drive cloud)}存储，因为它：

• 节省空间^{(Saves Space)}——如今^(Nowadays)，文件和应用程序由于体积大而占用了大部分设备存储空间。^{(device storage space)}因此，为避免设备存储空间不足的问题^{(storage issue)}，您可以改用云存储。
• 提供^(Provides) 轻松访问^{(Easy Access)}– 文件上传到云端后，您可以随时随地访问它。您只需要一个有效的互联网连接^{(internet connection)}。
• 协助^{(Assists in)} 快速共享^{(Quick Sharing)}——谷歌云端硬盘^{(Google Drive Cloud Storage)}允许用户与其他人共享文件链接。这样，您可以在线共享多个文件，从而使协作过程更加轻松^{(collaboration easier)}。例如，可以轻松快速地共享大量旅行照片和视频。
• 保护数据安全^{(Keeps the Data Safe )}- 它可以保护您的重要数据免受恶意软件或病毒^{(malware or virus)}的侵害。
• 管理文件^{(Manages Files)}- Google Drive 云^{(Google Drive cloud)}存储有助于跟踪文件并按时间顺序排列它们。

但是这种云存储设施^{(cloud storage facility)}也有一定的局限性。

• Google Drive 云^{(Google Drive cloud)}存储最多只能免费存储 15 GB^{(only 15 GB for free)}。
• 如需更多云存储空间^{(storage space)}，您必须付费并升级到 Google One^{( pay & upgrade to Google One)}。

因此，明智且经济地使用Google Drive 存储^{(Google Drive storage)}变得更加重要。

为什么会出现 Google Drive 重复文件问题？^{(Why Google Drive Duplicate Files Problem Occurs?)}

由于各种原因，可能会出现此问题，例如：

• 当多人^{(multiple people)}可以访问云端硬盘^(Drive)时，他们可能会上传同一文档的副本。
• 同样，您可能会错误地上传同一文件的多个副本^{(mistakenly upload multiple copies)}，然后您将面临上述问题。

如何在 Google Drive 中查找重复文件^{(How to Find Duplicate Files in Google Drive)}

如本节所述，有多种查找重复文件的方法。

方法一：在 Google Drive 中手动查找^{(Method 1: Find Manually in Google Drive)}

^(Peruse)通过手动滚动并删除重复或具有相同名称的文件来^{(have the same name)}仔细阅读您的驱动器。

方法二：使用谷歌云端硬盘搜索栏^{(Method 2: Use Google Drive Search Bar)}

Google 云端硬盘^{(Google Drive)}会在上传文件时自动在重复文件的名称中添加数字。您可以通过在搜索栏中^{(search bar)}搜索数字^{(searching for numbers)}来查找重复文件，如下图所示。
